ABSTRACT
[...]the prosecutor has an obligation to enter into these decisions with clarity of purpose and knowledge of the consequences. [...]the prosecution standards specifically encourage prosecutors to find, where possible, noncriminal dispositions as part of the charging decision. Many drug-related offenses are a misdemeanor for a first offense but escalate to a higher-level misdemeanor or even felony offense on a second or subsequent offense. [...]a conviction for what some would consider "just a little weed" could carry significant consequences on a second time through the system. Formal diversion programs may offer a specific program for identifying those offenders who are low risk for re-offense, while other prosecutors who lack such a formal program with screening tools may have to rely on the information provided by defense counsel and any consultation with the victim.
